You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!
She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.
If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.
During March our Flowerbug's Team has been focusing on using re-inkers. I hadn't played with the 'baby wipe' technique for awhile. I chose the Regency Park suite when creating this cute card:
It might not show up well here but the White greeting die-cut is 'caught' and held in place by the larger die & the outer two corners of flowers. These dies fit together perfectly! *you can see the dies in the photo below; the bottom most label nestles into the largest one with flowers on two edges.
Here's the Sentimental Park bundle as well, with the greeting & die-cuts. This bundle was one of my first purchases from the Spring catalog and I've used it a lot!
The other bundle in this suite is the Petal Park bundle seen here. It includes the stamp set & coordinating flower punch. I used the solid flowers on the middle right for my baby wipe technique and added the outline flowers (top right) in Black.
What supplies do you need for the Baby Wipe technique?
A baby wipe or two
At least 2-3 colors of ink refills
A stamp and card stock
Success tips for the 'Baby Wipe' technique:
Choose colors that work well together. I tend to choose 3 of my favorites like yellows with pinks, blues with greens, purples with blues etc.
Pick a stamp with a solid image; lots of rubber. An outline image will not show your colors well.
Fold the moist baby wipe into an ink pad; I use at least 4 layers.
Drop multiple drops of each color in each area. For example – 4 drops of yellow, move over a bit, 4 more drops of yellow etc. Then fill with the second color in the same manner. Fill in any empty areas with the 3rd or last color.
When inking your image stamp it in your 'baby wipe' handmade ink pad multiple times, trying to keep it in the same place as much as possible. Moving the image around too much can muddy your colors.
Huff the image and stamp!
Here's the inside of my card; I added a few more of the multi-colored punched flowers.
Need a new Stampin’ Up! Catalog? Plus an accordion fun fold card with video & free project sheet!
It's an exciting time for those who love Stampin' Up! products….. the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog can be seen online tomorrow (Wednesday) by current Demonstrators.
We get to see the newest 2023-25 In Colors, which current colors are leaving, which colors are filling in our color lines (it usually includes some returning In Colors and some brand new colors)!
Wednesday I'll be announcing which colors are leaving along with the retiring list of the current/retiring Annual catalog products so you stay informed. Remember that these retiring items are while supplies last. Do NOT WAIT to order. I have many people who are disappointed that they missed ordering items they really, really wanted.
*If you do not have a current Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and want a new Annual Catalog let me know by Thursday, March 30th. They are free to my current customers (those who've ordered from me within the past 6 months) or just $5 for me to send you one. You can pay via PayPal or Venmo.

The last Monday of each month I have a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my Facebook page here. A day or so before the Live I share the project we're making so those who want to stamp along with me can do so. Others can watch and create later.
After the video I provide a post where everyone who makes the project can share their version. All who do are entered in a drawing for a free prize from me. Click hereto see all of the Floating Panel cards from February's Live.
This month I chose another fun fold card – an accordion card that really shows off both sides of your Designer Paper!
I added an inside White layer to stamp and sign on. I used Melon Mambo & Old Olive markers to ink the flower bud image before I stamped and die-cut it.
